frozen

i felt like ice long before
you touched my skin
silent words
wrecked our tears, turned them
green with envy two octaves
down, the undertone
saying
"we can never be"

and we can't
but i will remember you,
even if you forget
dreams of ice and candles
lit for goodbyes and hello
dulcet piano
playing softly farewell

so when i saw "lit" i was not reading very carefully and thought you meant "literature." feel free to glare at the computer screen.

then i realized what a moron i was and how cool you are.
